Is Leeds vs Newcastle on UK TV? How to watch Premier League fixture - date, kick-off time and live stream details

This will be Leeds United’s first home fixture with Sam Allardyce in charge and the former West Brom manager is searching for his first win. Leeds currently find themselves in the Premier League relegation zone as they welcome Newcastle United to Elland Road.

Last time out saw the Whites lose 2-1 to Manchester City at the Etihad and while the result was much closer than had been anticipated, it still meant Leeds fell into the bottom three after other results went against them.

Speaking ahead of this weekend, Allardyce said: “Their Premier League status is in jeopardy. The club worked so hard to get here and the first two years are always the hardest. Every game means a clean sheet. The negative rubbish around clean sheets is bizarre for me. Because every successful club has the best clean sheet record, the best defensive record.”

As Allardyce prepares for his first home fixture as Leeds manager, the former England boss said: “I loved playing here as the away team, I loved the atmosphere. I cam as a manager and the same - and the historical nature of the club.”
